...and I bought the 200T, I was tossed up between the 200 and the 220. Guess I made the wrong choice.The faceplate thing was that is was so new that replacement parts parts hadn't been distributed yet. It seems I got one of the very first ones.
He was the authorized dealer for many brands when I later went "into the business" and he did great work. He didn't have too much faith in this particular product since it was among the first engineered totally under Fisher's new owners at the time. He redid my Marantz 2270 twice over the years, the last time was three years ago and then went out of business. He did a wunnerful job on the FM alignment and everything else.
As for the balance, he said it measured right, but who knows. I got rid of it soon afterwards.
I do remember that when I sold Fisher later, their 700T was famous for blowing output transistors. ...or was that the 400T? don't remember, but it shook my faith in their "new" products.
